Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Cortland, or Granny Smith)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for filling, cut into small cubes)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt for the pie crust.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices and place in a large bowl.

Step 7

Toss the apples with lemon juice, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving some overhang.

Step 9

Add the prepared apple filling to the pie dish, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.

Step 10

Dot the filling with the 2 tablespoons of cubed butter.

Step 11

Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle and place it over the filling. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and crimp to seal the top and bottom crusts together.

Step 12

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Step 14

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drippings and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 15

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.

Step 16

Serve slices warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
